An original subplot involved the ship saucer-separating and the Aldeans holding the saucer section hostage.
   

This was the episode which won Hannah Louise Shearer a spot on the writers board.
   

Among the children were Wil Wheaton's younger siblings Jeremy and Amy (Mason and Tara) and Michael Westmore's daughter MacKenzie (Roe).
   

The Aldean's power plant was originally described to be a "little black box", but FX pro Legato decided to go for something grander which ended up costing $3000.
